Control width of table columns in category table

[domino]

I have edited the categories.php file under includes/classes/kernel so I can show more subcategories on the home page under each category.

I have my number of categories for home page set to 2.

Because of the increased subcategories, it makes on column wider than the other. The subcategories make it stretch. So, since one of my categories has 6 subcategories and the category below it has two, the right column, where the larger number of subcategories are, is much wider. I'd prefer it if I could have the subcategories wrap tightly under the category, say two or three per line rather than be so wide.

Where/how/can I change this so that the text wraps and the columns are of equal size? I've tried various things but isn't working. I probably don't know which file to alter.

Thanks

I believe you would want to edit the browse.tpl file. Try adding width="50%" to both of the <td> declaration. I haven't tried or tested this.

Around line 17:

PHP Code:

    <td valign="top" width="50%"> // added width
    {if $data[td]<>""}

Thanks Mike.

No, that's doesn't have any effect on it.

I added this to the css:

.main td {
width: 50%;
}

That works. I tried this yesterday and must have typed something wrong or it was just too late in the day!
